The reasons why Hugo Camberos was the best rookie of the year in Liga MX | OneFootball

There is no doubt that Hugo Camberos was one of Guadalajara's most outstanding players throughout the 2025 Clausura, which is doubly impressive considering that the Rebaño Sagrado youth player is only 18 years old and just a few months into his debut in the top league.

On Sunday night, Camberos was recognized as the best rookie of the year in Liga MX, beating out the talented Gilberto Mora in the voting. The native of Autlán, Jalisco, has left a lasting impression since January 11, 2025, when he made his debut as a starter in Week 1 of the 2025 Clausura in a Chivas vs. Santos match.

With his dribbling, change of pace, and understanding of the game, Hugo won the hearts of the Rojiblanca Nation, proving that he was not only capable of winning individual duels, but also a player with tremendous talent for combining with his teammates.

Throughout the 2025 Clausura, Hugo Camberos also had a direct impact on the statistics, which we break down here:

- 15 games played (10 as a starter)- 875 minutes played- 1 goal- 1 assist- 187 successful passes (77%)- 11 successful crosses- 8 interceptions

Hugo Camberos' 3 best moments as a Guadalajara player

1. We can't make this list without mentioning the day he made his debut in the top flight. It was January 11, 2025, when the Rebaño Sagrado faced Santos at Akron Stadium, and Camberos took the field as a starter, playing as a right winger.

2. Another highlight was his first goal in Liga MX, which was of high technical quality. That goal came in Week 7 of the 2025 Clausura, after a short combination between Camberos and 'Piojo', which ended in a powerful shot from the edge of the area.

3. Hugo also played a part in his first goal in the Clásicos Tapatíos, as on Matchday 17 of the previous tournament, he took a long-range shot that took a deflection and ended up in the Rojinegros' net.
